Abstract: A table frame for a table has a first column and a second column for supporting a table top, a cross member of hollow profile construction by which the first column and the second column are interconnected with each other and a first cantilever support mounted on the top end of the first column and a second cantilever support mounted on the top end of the second column. The first and the second column each have two projections at respective top ends thereof. The cross member, at each end section thereof, has a pair of oblong holes disposed on its lower side and through which the two projections of the respective column extend into the cross member. Each cantilever support has a first and a second flange which are arranged spaced-apart from one another, each of the flanges abutting the cross member on a lateral side portion thereof.

Abstract: An interstitial sub-floor formed of concrete contained in a prefabricated formwork composed of a plurality of rigid plastic eggcrate-type modules positioned adjacent to one another and bonded to one another.

Abstract: An offshore platform including a deck with an aperture formed through it and a number of clamping means carried by the deck. The clamping means, which may comprise opposed doors, are mounted so as to be selectively movable between a retracted position, to leave the aperture freely open, and an extended position in which the clamping means extend into the aperture. The arrangement is to facilitate lowering and recovering heavy equipment such as a BOP stack.
